As someone who has played BDO the past 4 years I agree that their graphics by far are impeccable. As far as emotion I'm not sure about that because their faces to me don't seem to show expression like BnS characters do when they do their idle pose. When BDO characters idle pose they dont make any faces if I'm not mistaken its a blank expression. The "Plastic dolls" comment i can agree bns characters have a doll like cartoon look but thats what I love about BnS character design, I don't always want to play a game where the characters look like real humans. theres enough games on the market that utilize that aesthetic already, it's just BDO dam near perfected it. I have been playing bns for 4 days now. I quit back in 2017 and I am excited for UE4 and they claim to fix the optimization and thats all I care about. As far as p2w most people aren't bothered by that I believe. I mean look at BDO. Player base is great and they have plenty of so called p2w aspects but alot of people don't seem to care to the point of quitting sao i think bns may revive itself solely from optimization fixes but thats just my opinion please don't attack me >.< But i just wanted to share my thoughts with you.
